Today is the official launch day for Texas Flood, my micro-chapbook from Porkbelly Press, out of CIncinnati, Ohio. This ten poem collection was written in the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey, in August 2017. Regarding the press, founder and editor Nicci Melcher is a dream to work with, and I feel fortunate indeed to have crossed paths.

My apologies to Caidan Walker and the Lucky Lizard Journal team. I somehow neglected last month to acknowledge their fine publication, in which two of my poems appear. Thanks very much for taking my pieces!

I am grateful to the editors for taking these pieces, and to poet-musician Tara Linda for providing the title “Another Sunrise, Another Moon” during a fundraiser for Brick Street Poetry a few years ago.
